The show is on as I’m typing this…the game is called “Shadow Hills”.
They explicitly called it interactive fiction, but it sounds like they’re talking more about a MUD. The screen shot they showed looked a lot more like a RAGS game.
Not bad for network television.
Edit: As the show rolls on, this seems like the 80’s all over again. I guess it’s time for a new Satanic Panic and MUDs will be the new D&D.
